The  failed attempt to oust the head of Social Security

The board of directors of the Social Security Fund (CSS) has 11 members, two of whom – who are representatives of the private sector – unsuccessfully asked to remove the current director of the institution, who openly insulted them when he refused to inform them about the theft of thousands of vials of fentanyl, a very serious fact that the board of directors learned about through the media, five months – at least – after the official learned of the fact. On the board of directors are the ministers of Health and of Economy and Finance, a representative of health professionals and technicians, four of the workers -one of the public employees and three of the private company-, one of the pensioners and retirees –all appointed by the Executive– and three of the employers (chosen by the National Council of Private Enterprise). Except for those who requested the separation of the director, we ask ourselves, with whom is the fidelity of the rest of the board of directors? It is evident that it is not with the insured or retirees or employees. His attitude only causes this director to do what he really wants, regardless of the consequences or the opinion of the board of directors. This inadmissible submission is an affront to those who they supposedly represent in that collegiate body. – LA PRENSA, Mar. 30.
